[Otters27]

Hey posters. Lot of guy here think I am a paid poster or not a real person so I said I would give a short gambling life story so you can better understand my gambling situation. I am not giving out a life story like where I live or whatever. Not allowed to reveal my identity on the internet. So if guys are looking for validation that is not what this is. Just looking to help guys understand how I got where i am gambling wise

I first gambled when a friend had a craps party in his garage in 6th grade. I told my mom where i was going and she said don't you need some money? She gave me 5 one dollar bills and said be careful gambling because it is in our genes.

Spent most of high school playing sports so didn't gamble on sports but always had to have that rush so whenever at parties I would be at the gambling table playing mostly in-between. I would always win becasue I had the largest bank roll and could outlast anyone that did not have the balls to call the pot as many times as me.

After high school that is when things when sour mostly because of the online gambling explosion. Lost a lot of money but then figured out how to bet and got the 14k back that I lost. I mostly played online poker and black jack in the casino. Went on a crazy run. That was the worst thing that could have happend though becuase I thought that I would always get what I lost back eventually. Gradually the losses got more and more and by my late 20s and early 30s I was over 50k in credit card debt from online gambling. Lost my girlfriend my now wife because of that. That is when my mom agreed to take over my finances and take me in so that I could pay off my debt and try to learn to control the gambling. I paid $1500 dollars a month for a little over 3 years back to my mom as she paid the 56 k off to avoid paying outrages interest. For a long time I only bet betpoints with the occasional real money deposit. Later I was given an allowance to gamble with. It worked for a while but then I would blow the allowance going all in so that is when we shut down all casinos and poker and only did sportsbetting with 5 dimes. She had the password and I could only place bets under her supervison. betpoints I was allowed to bet all in if I wanted. This worked for a while as well. Then one day my old girlfriend called me out of the blue and wanted to make things right since she herd I was out of debt. We had a meeting with her and my mom about my gambling. She agreed that she would accept that I was going to gamble and was ok with that. She also agreed to take on the 5dimes password. This also worked for a while until I got the itch to make bigger bets so we then agreed to do Betonline (no limit) and 5 dimes limit and betpoints but nothing more than that. Kind of like 3 different gambling avenues. Lost a lot in betonline but held strong with 5 dimes until i accidently saw her type in the password. i now cannot help myself so I have to figure out a way to tell her to make a new password before I lose the 5 dimes balance. So that is where I am today. Contsantly trying to figure out how to live with this disease. To be honest I am not sure why I bet the ML chalk other that I like to get the gambling rush but still win almost all the bets. When I then lose it all on the one -5000 play that loses it is almost worth it.

Good luck posters.

Otters, can you explain how you're married but your mom doesn't allow you to give out your identity?

My point is: I have a hard time believing you just got married.

[Kermit]

People accused you of being a paid poster?

[lakerboy]

Will read later. Too many sob stories today

No one wants me to give out my identity. Both my wife and mom.

[firedawg]

[jjgold]

[milwaukee mike]

[Otters27]

Is this real?

Yes that I what I am trying to say. It is real life. I really make these bets and love it!

[kidcudi92]

Stay golden, Otters!

[LVHerbie]

Good thing you aren't addicted to heroin as it would suck making your mom and wife shoot you up with small doses.

otters, in a previous post i believe you let on that you were in your early 40's. you also just stated that you played online poker after high school. seems to be a timeline problem with this. online poker really wasn't available until 2003 about when the boom began. allowing for an extra year or two that you could have been playing it and even taking off a couple of years off your proclaimed age of early 40's, you should of graduated or quit high school 20 years ago or more (1995-1996 sounds about right) missing gaps of time here and hard to believe your girlfriend would wait all those years for you to become debt free and then actually marry you. bizarre to say the least. we need actual years here. don't need identity disclosure or address but some of this does not add up. poker boom 14 years ago. you at age 25 is not right after high school.

Ok man. I'll pm you the years.

I didn't know SBR was full of men who express their emotions to random people over the internet. And some of you aren't even that young which makes it even funnier. I feel for you though because the gambling gene runs deep in my family as well and I have it big time. You got to be a man about all of this though and know not to do the same stupid thing over and over again. O and just so you know making this post is going to change anything either. You got to change you.

[hotcross]

we got some real fuccan detectives in here

What if Otters story is reality? How bout that for a sec?

90% of you just dissed him, or dismissed his story as BS. Might just be his way of making an effort to somehow deal with his pattern. We have all seen his wild moneyline picks time and again...

So again, you wanna choose what portions to believe and which others not to. Whether it be Otters or PhattDaddy with his substantial bankroll...Maybe a bad comparison there but on the point - you all sound like asshats IF his story is true, for not being a bit compassionate in Otters case.

How are you ever gonna know what some of these posters say is reality? You're not. So have your opinions, fine. But not necessary to come out and be a straight up dikk. It doesn't make yourself any more hard to the core or badass.

[Hu$tle]

hahahh

so funny

get a day job...wait were on it

[Bostongambler]

God damm, go into fucken therapy already

[unusialsusp5]

Ok man. I'll pm you the years.

don't. too easy to fudge. also have a real problem with you paying back your mother almost 400.00 a week for 3 years. pretty decent job you must have or had. after that she still allows you to gamble under supervision. and then she handed the torch to your girlfriend who was so enamored with you she stayed home for 7 or 8 years until you became debt free and yet allows you to make these preposterous bets currently. cannot prove you wrong but......

[The Giant]

Here is what I know about Otters:

He is roughly 37 years of age.

Graduated high school around 1998.

Mother and wife control his finances.

He can't reveal his identity, or whereabouts, because the entire family is hiding from his dad. They fear he might be hanging out on SBR. His father could be JJ, and Otters could be Jeffrey. Who knows.

Otters is one quirky dude, but we are happy to have him.

1500 a month for 3 years. Plus my girlfriend had here own life for a long time. She was just the Only person who really understood me and vice versa as she has major issues as well. Hey look I know this is hard to believe but I am really just trying explain how gambling has affected my life and why I bet the way I bet.

[The Giant]

Otters, tell me about your girlfriend's issues.


This will help me understand you better.

[Otters27]

Otters, tell me about your girlfriend's issues.

I'm going to be in big trouble if she reads this but I also got married for someone to make sure I don't nearly throw my life away due to gambling. Without someone holding me accountable and supervising my finances I might go yo Vegas and run up another 50k debt just for the rush.

but you haven't really explained much. you are likeable and entertaining so continue.

[milwaukee mike]

otters if you are sick and diseased, then why did it take "accidentally" seeing the password?

true degenerates would find every way they can to gamble, they would just open up another account somewhere else, or like you said just go to a casino and shove it off

if that's where you're at then seek help and don't have access to available credit.

That didn't answer my question at all.
